Default Newbie plant question

Are there some cheap plants for a beginner that I could get for a 20 gallon vivarium thta are good beginner plants? I don't exactly know what frogs or lizards i will keep in it yet. I just want to get the layout and plants started for now. Some of these plants would need to be o.k. partially submerged in water and some not. Any ideas would be great. I would like at least one taller plant and some that are low growing and would cover some of the floor of the vivarium. Thanks!!!

I'd recommend Bromeliads for any vivarium. They're nice and firm for perching on, they look wonderful, and most of them are neat because they collect water in the middle.

If there's a Lowes Hardware Store near you, check their plant section. All of them around here carry bromeliads and other good terrarium plants.

It's already been recommended, but blackjungle.com is great. I've just set up my very first viv, and I know nothing about plants. They have a great selection and great prices, and they also have a ton of instructional pages for first-time setups.
